We really have not had much difficulty finding accommodation once we could make telephone contact as we are well outside the tourist season. Finding a place is fairly plain and straight forward. That is till we tried to find a place at Lucca. Everything full!! All the recommended places were fully booked. Finally someone who spoke English explained that this weekend was the Annual Lucca Comics and Games Festival. Literally thousands of games and comics fanatics in full dress walking the streets of Lucca. Sophie was totally amazed, mainly because she knew who 1/2 the characters actually were, Merran and I were just shaking our heads in disbelief. Capt Jack Sparrow walking past a patrol of Storm troopers, who were avoiding Rapunzel (complete with frying pan) and trying not to get in the posed photo of Batman and Robin. Some rather grim Samurais heading the other way have to dodge the characters from South Park. All of this in the wonderful Medieval town of Lucca with it's churches and towers. Enough to seriously warp the mind....... Photos to come....
